Chapter 142: Chapter 118: The Wealthy and Arrogant Her Highness the Princess
"Little Lin Ke’s training methods are really good, are these the training methods passed down by Azanen?"
Count Giant Sword smiled and pointed at Lin Ke in the distance.
On the Great Wall, a group of nobles were discussing, watching Lin Ke’s knight order charge and fight in the distance.
At first, Count Giant Sword and the others were very tense, fearing that the first attack of the Great Swamp would be an endless tide of magical beasts.
But now it seems okay; the first wave was just a mere tide of beasts.
So they all watched with an attitude of enjoying the spectacle, pointing and directing from afar.
"Azanen? Haha, just a country viscount, what kind of training methods could he have?" Count Grizzly Bear sneered with disdain, full of indifference.
"Old Grizzly Bear, I remember when you were six, you were chasing after and munching on that mother bear’s milk, weren’t you embarrassed to say that?" Beside Count Grizzly Bear was Count Giant Sword, and next to him was Count Black Claw, who was blunt towards Grizzly Bear.
"You short-legged wolf, what do you know? That was a sign of a good relationship with Mother Grizzly Bear, she was like half a mother to me!" Count Grizzly Bear glared wide-eyed.
"Hmph, Grizzly Bear, if you want to offend Lin Ke, don’t forget who’s behind him." At this point, Count Giant Sword also spoke to help Count Black Claw, glancing at Grizzly Bear, then deliberately looked over in the direction of Princess Rica.
Who is behind Lin Ke?
Count Grizzly Bear internally disdained, how could the Imperial Family interfere in these disputes, at most, they would marry Lin Ke in to protect him as a plaything.
But that powerful Ove indeed needed attention.
"Regardless of who’s behind, one must be strong by oneself, otherwise, just like that short-legged wolf, wanting to kill me but can’t, hey, heh heh, haha." Count Grizzly Bear provocatively glanced at Count Black Claw.
"You..." Count Black Claw was about to retort, but heard Princess Rica beside them, frowning and shouting: "Alright, everyone shut up!"
As soon as Princess Rica spoke, not just Grizzly and Black Claw count, but all the other nobles fell silent.
Princess Rica was holding a Memory Stone, shimmering with a faint glow, pointing it at Lin Ke, eyes filled with little stars.
Apparently she was filming, bothered by the nobles’ noise.
These nobles were neither entirely large nor small, all held great respect for Princess Rica.
After all, she was the Insomnia Emperor’s most beloved daughter, and she had an outstanding bloodline talent, with limitless future achievements.
"Your Highness Rica, it seems this attack was merely a probing one from the Great Swamp." Count Giant Sword approached Rica and whispered.
"Oh, really? But I think Lin Ke is so brave! Look at this People’s Knight Order, they’re almost catching up to my father’s Black and White Knights." Princess Rica watched Lin Ke fighting bloodily below, her voice slightly high-pitched.
So valiant!
Hmm, no, I must gift Lin Ke a new set of armor, pink would look good... Princess Rica watched Lin Ke from afar with eyes full of hearts, her green eyes brimming with longing.
The nobles did not think as much as Rica; instead, they remained silent.
Her Highness the Princess’ words... hmm...
Black and White Knight Order...
Count Giant Sword paused for a second, then nodded slightly: "Yes, those two knight orders, at least... at least... hmm, at least their races are similar."
The other nobles remained silent.
Black and White Knight Order?
In the Gula Kingdom, the Insomnia Emperor’s Black and White Knight Order, where even the lowest rank was level ten, with most being above level fifteen.
A thousand strong knight order, charging forward with destruction and devastation.
The last one who endured such a charge should be some powerful deity or legendary being many, many years ago, maybe tracing back to the founding days.
Count Giant Sword once again looked at the charging crowd of old, weak, sick, and disabled in the distance...
"Indeed exceedingly brave." Count Giant Sword praised: "Lin Ke is truly amazing!"
Rica also nodded: "Of course, of course, you finally have good taste!"
"Sigh, lately Count Giant Sword’s skin has thickened!" Count Black Claw beside him couldn’t help but mutter quietly, nudging Count Akel with his elbow.
Count Akel, hearing this, smiled and corrected: "Count Giant Sword’s rhetoric has indeed improved a lot."
Count Giant Sword glanced at the two, saying nothing.
"Just some beasts..." Viscount Mantis muttered quietly to himself, indifferent, just that he deliberately kept his voice low so that Princess Rica couldn’t hear him.
"Yeah, just some beasts."
"If it were me, I could do it too."
"Me too."
Around Viscount Mantis were several other viscounts, all following Count Grizzly Bear.
These viscounts either had interests in conflict with Azanen or aligned with Grizzly Bear and Viscount Mantis.
"Don’t say that, Count Lin Ke’s knights are still quite powerful... right, despite having few ’Knights,’ they’re still quite powerful." Count Grizzly Bear commented with a cheerful face.
He was obviously mocking that Lin Ke’s knight order lacked formal ’Knights.’
Originally expecting Black Claw and the others to argue back, Count Grizzly Bear was surprised when Princess Rica turned to look at him, frowning: "Why are you so annoying?"
Count Grizzly Bear was stunned for a moment, and before he spoke, Princess Rica turned away and casually took out a few small dark stones from her Space Ring, tossing them to Count Giant Sword and the others.
"A reward for you, not as annoying as the old man." Princess Rica finished, continuing to record Lin Ke’s highlights with her Memory Stone.
Count Akel stared blankly at the stones in his hand and, after a moment, exclaimed with delight: "Iron Essence? One kilogram of Iron Essence?"
He weighed it in his hand.
The stones were only about the size of pigeon eggs, but each weighed a full kilogram.
"Iron Essence?!" exclaimed not only Count Akel but also other nobles, with Count Grizzly Bear’s eyes narrowing.
Iron Essence, equivalent to Mithril and Gold Essence.
These were among the favorite materials of ancient mages and warriors, used for making superior magic-conductive weapons.
Nowadays, these excellent materials were also a favorite among professionals.
The Iron Essence on the market was about three hundred gold coins per gram, and a kilogram would be three hundred thousand gold coins!
Princess Rica, for just one Lin Ke, threw out three pieces of nearly a kilogram each of Iron Essence?!
Count Grizzly Bear frowned involuntarily at this.
Yes, the Black and White Royal Family’s princes and princesses wouldn’t easily intervene in other nobles’ disputes, as decreed by His Majesty Insomnia.
But a princess like Rica, who was showered with countless affection, might not need to intervene directly in noble struggles, merely using her vast wealth to side with someone.
Moreover, Count Grizzly Bear suspected that even if Princess Rica caused trouble and intervened in local nobles’ conflicts, perhaps the Insomnia Emperor would turn a blind eye.
A joke, I prevent my sons and daughters from interfering as a respect for you.
You dare upset my little darling Rica so much that she shows bias?
How desperate must my little fairy be to do such a thing?
I might as well obliterate you all.
Recalling the Insomnia Emperor’s protective nature, Count Grizzly Bear couldn’t help but shiver.
Furthermore...
Count Grizzly Bear looked at the dark stones and thought of the weapon he had always wanted to forge, and couldn’t help but swallow hard.
He peered over at Viscount Mantis, who appeared anxious, frantically making eyes at him.
Looking at the other viscounts behind him, none dared meet his gaze, each with ulterior motives.
Count Grizzly internally sighed, then smiled, looking at Princess Rica: "By the way, Your Highness Rica, I heard the Black and White Royal Family shouldn’t meddle in local noble disputes..."
Princess Rica turned her head, oddly glanced at Count Grizzly Bear: "What are you talking about? I have plenty of money, what’s wrong with throwing some to people I like?"
"Tch, annoying." After speaking, Rica turned her head back, propping her chin up, watching Lin Ke charging.
Count Grizzly Bear’s expression stiffened instantly.
At this moment, however, Count Giant Sword’s face suddenly changed, looking in Lin Ke’s direction:
"Not good! A strong one is coming!"
